Hello all,
I am in the proccess of finishing my basement. I did my absolute best to make the most space for a 9 foot table. My dimensions are 14.8 ft wide and 23 ft length. My concern is the width, I have spoken to a few people and they think I will be ok with the width I have. With all the experience you guys have installing tables do you think i will be jammed up with the dimensions i have?? Thoughts..... your opinion will be very much appreciated.

For most 9 foot tables, 14' x 18', or greater, for unobstructed play with 56 inch cues. It really can depend on the manufacturer and model however. If I had a Diamond Pro or Pro/Am, I'd go 15' wide because of the extra rail width on the Diamonds. Here are some helpful links to investigate regarding room size recommendations:

My nine foot gold crown is in a room exactly 14 feet wide and has been for a decade. No real problems worth complaining about. When the ball is on the side rail shooting straight across we tend to elevate a little anyway which gives a bit more room. The extra 4 inches per side you have will make it a virtual non issue. Relax and enjoy.

Very cool! Gentlemen thank you very very much for the assistance. Hopefully I can get it done soon and post some pics up.
 
I've got 14'6" wide on a 9 footer with 6 1/2" rails (Gandy Big G) with no problems. You're most likely good (may need to elevate a bit on some shots, depends on your rails/stroke).

the width of the rail doesn't matter, the ball your hitting is in the playing field not on top of the rail. Your playing field is 50 x 100 inches, Your cues are 59" w/butt rubber typically, lets say 60". You need your 60", or whatever your comfortable with, on all four sides of the table. you need 170" x 220".
 
I just had my 9' table installed in my small (18'5" x 18'5") "two" car garage. Frozen, length of the table shots from the head or foot are a little tight but those shots don't come up too often. I've got exactly 58.5" from the playing surface to the wall on both sides of the end rails. It may be a little tight but it sure is nice having a regulation size table at your disposal 24/7 and it definitely beats paying table time.

You may want to take advantage of wider rails by bridging up further back on the rail when your cue ball ends up on/near the cushion. So a little more space from the walls lets you do this.
 
170 x 220 = 14.16 x 18.33 so the concences is, I should be ok. The table I have is a Gold Crown III. It's in storage and I started having the jitters when I kept digging into the dimensions but with all your feed back I'm starting to get good vibes. (happy I don't have to sell the table) So on with my dream of having a regulation size table 24-7.
